Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

commit 37c4dbf3 upstream. The IRTE for an assigned device can trigger a POSTED_INTR_VECTOR even if APICv is disabled on the vCPU that receives it. In that case, the interrupt will just cause a vmexit and leave the ON bit set together with the PIR bit corresponding to the interrupt. Right now, the interrupt would not be delivered until APICv is re-enabled. However, fixing this is just a matter of always doing the PIR->IRR synchronization, even if the vCPU has temporarily disabled APICv. This is not a problem for performance, or if anything it is an improvement. First, in the common case where vcpu->arch.apicv_active is true, one fewer check has to be performed. Second, static_call_cond will elide the function call if APICv is not present or disabled. Finally, in the case for AMD hardware we can remove the sync_pir_to_irr callback: it is only needed for apic_has_interrupt_for_ppr, and that function already has a fallback for !APICv.
